Both are PAM0009, however one is from 1998, hence PAM0009A and the other is from 1999, PAM0009B. The 'T' after the PAM0009B or PAM0009BT indicate that the dial is the Tritium dial. The A, I suspect is the Luminova Dial.

Man, they are speaking in Panerai Code talk there...  :Laughing_on_floor:
Thanks Hobbs as usual for the clarification.

the 9A of course T dial la, it's prior than 9BT.
9BT is a transition from T to L, hence why there's 9BT and 9BL.

All L dials confirm from C onwards.

very little people will appreciate the subtle beauty of the 9. Sold my 4 for this.
Simple but deadly in my eyes :)

more info : 9A comes with different pearbox, two screw buckles+ different OEM strap
the 9BT is closer to our current models, same pearbox (albeit transition color) + one side screw buckle and same OEM strap

the 9A is not mine btw, a lot more expensive, i only managed a 9BT.

I believe many are ignorant of that fact unlike those who follow Pam religiously

Dsiewmy,

You are correct on the T dial on the A Series. My mistake. Anyway I agree on the beauty of the PAM0009. Not many appreciate the watch.

Ya, bring in a deciphering device to unlock the PAM codes.

thanks dennis.
it is a beautiful watch, easy to love and difficult to forget.
but the hunt is still on for the perfect patina piece. orange/pumpkin is the goal.

best thing is, nothing to go wrong since movement is so simple :)

but T-dials are particularly fragile and flaky.
